THE COURIER-JOURNAL SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2000 C11 HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL Penm seizes Ifflh state title. 21-0 with one second left in regulation. Adam Kress, an offensive lineman and linebacker for Heritage Hills, received the mental attitude award. Class 4-A East Noble 28, Plainfield 7: Jesse Cox rushed for 168 yards and one score, and David Gater added 134 total yards, a blocked punt, and two interceptions as No. 6 East Noble (14-1) won in its first appearance in a state-championship event in any sport-East Noble totaled 270 yards rushing and 21 first downs.

"Our big-play players made the plays, and it's all about the line of scrimmage," Knights coach Tim Able said. "Our linemen won the war in the trenches." After not capitalizing on Gater's first interception on Plainfield's opening possession, the Knights cashed in with a fumble recovery at the Plain-field 28. Jesse Cox accounted for 20 yards on the drive, including a 7-yard scoring run with 6:18 left in the opening period. Special teams play allowed East Noble to make it 14-0 less than two minutes later as Josh Hitzeman raced 44 yards following Gater's blocked punt. "I just got right in there and blocked it untouched," Gater said.

The Quakers (14-1) strung together a 10-play, 60-yard drive to get themselves back in the game early in the second quarter. Senior back Tommy Restivo scored from the 2. But East Noble quickly re-established its momentum by going 73 yards in 10 plays. The score came when Gater passed to Matt Spencer on fourth-and-27 from the 32. Gater passed for 89 yards and rushed for 45.

"I think you have to give credit to East Noble. They had a great game plan," Plainfield coach Chuck Scwan-ekamp said. "When we came out after the two turnovers only down 7-0, 1 though we had a chance. But we could never get anything going." Cory Partlpw of Plainfield was named the recipient of the Phil N. Eskew Mental Attitude Award.

Penn's Matthew Nagy, left, and Blake win over Center Grove In last night's ASSOCIATED PRESS Herberle celebrated the Knights' Class 5-A championship game. Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS Penn senior quarterback Eric Moore completed 13 of 16 passes for 181 yards and three touchdowns last night as No. 2-ranked Penn defeated No. 6 Center Grove 21-0 at the RCA Dome in the championship game for Indiana Class 5-A high school football. "My take on the game is just this simple: There has never been a team that has deserved a championship more than these guys," Kingsmen coach Chris Geesman said.

Making their fifth trip to the finals in six years, the Kingsmen (14-1) captured their fourth title during this stretch and their fifth overall. Center Grove (13-2) was making its first championship-game appearance. "Coming into this game, I knew Penn wasn't going to beat themselves," said Center Grove coach Eric Moore. "I just wish we didn't contribute to them beating us." Penn needed just four plays on its opening drive to score. Operating out of a shotgun formation, Moore threw a 64-yard strike to junior Sam Pen-rod at the 10:16 mark to complete a 78-yard drive.

Penrod had 12 receptions this season, 10 for touchdowns. Behind the running of Jonny Zwitt and Eric McClurg, Center Grove drove to Penn's 15 on its initial possession, but a holding penalty and a tackle for a loss by Dan Geans forced the Trojans to attempt a 41-yard field goal, which sailed wide right. A short punt gave the Trojans another opportunity in Penn territory, but Geans once again sacked quarterback Kyle Geiger to force a punt. A roughing the passer penalty and big runs by Ian Smith (16 yards) and Ryan Kisrow (18) helped set up Moore's 20-yard TD pass to Smith 9:35 before halftime. The Kingsmen tacked on another score right before halftime as Moore went 6 for 6 for 67 yards on the 12-play, 71 yard march.

Blair Donat caught three passes on the drive, including a 13-yarder for the score. BOYS' BASKETBALL ttH3 NCAA DIVISION I-AA PLAYOFFS Western Kentucky rattles the Rattlers in 27-0 thumping By C.L.

Eskew Mental Attitude Award. Class AAA Heritage Hills 27, Zionsville 24: With Indianapolis Colts tight end Ken Dilger, a former All-State quarterback at Heritage Hills, watching from the sideline, current quarterback Jay Cutler caught a 12-yard TD pass from Cole Seifng in overtime to give the No. 1 Patriots (15-0) their first AAA title. Dilger gave a pregame pep talk. "He told us to play for 48 minutes, to leave it all out there," said Jay Cutler, who threw three interceptions during regulation, The Patriots saw a 21-7 lead disappear in the third period and fell be tral 67: The visiting Wolfpack (1-0) ended the third quarter with a 7-0 run to take a 58-52 lead, and rode that momentum to a win over the Rebels (0-2).

The victors pulled away in the fourth quarter in large part because of the play of Joey Hanger, who scored 11 of his 13 points, including 5 of 6 free throws, in the period. Crawford County was 12 of 17 from the line in the final quarter. Still, South Central coach Greg Robinson is by no means ready to throw in the towel. "We played better tonight than we did Tuesday (in a loss at North Harrison)," Robinson said. "That's what this team has to do: get a little better each game and be at your best at the end of the year.

I think we'll be a good team by the end of the year." Brian Key and Rocky Schultz led Crawford with 18 points apiece. Craig Schoen had 30 points, three steals and six assists for South Central. Seymour 56, Columbus East 47: The host Owls (1-1) hit 12 of 15 free throws in the fourth quarter to hold off the Olympians (0-2) in a Hoosier Hills Conference opener. Milos Mirkovic paced Seymour with 16 points. East's Julian Guess had 23.

Bloomlngton North 67, Bedford 56: Sean May, a 6-8 junior, had 25 points and 10 rebounds as the Cougars (1-0) held off the visiting Stars (0-1). Bedford closed within 43-42 at the end of the third quarter but couldn't get the lead. Kyle Sinclar led the Stars with 20 points. Barr-Reeve 64, Washington Catholic 44: The Vikings (2-0, 1-0 Blue Chip) withstood a 30-point performance by Clint Maye for the Cardinals (0-1, 0-1). Zane Bowman led Barr-Reeve with 15 points.

Loogootee 67, Vincennes Rivet 42: Brett Bradley had 21 points and Kevin Lannan 20 as the host Lions (2-0, 2-0 Blue Chip) ripped Rivet (1-1, 0-1). hind 24-21 on the first possession of overtime after a 24-yard field goal by Mark Nicolet, who missed on two field-goal attempts in the fourth quarter. On Heritage Hills' possession, Cutler lost 2 yards to the 12 on the first play. Then he lateraled to Seifrig, who passed back to Cutler for an untouched scamper into the end zone. It was just the third overtime championship game in the 28-year history of Indiana's tournament.

Sixth-ranked Zionsville (11-4), which survived an overtime semistate victory at NorthWood last week, got 215 yards rushing and three touchdowns from Ryan Wagner, whose 3-yard dive tied the scores at 21 with 2:36 left in the third quarter. The Eagles reached Heritage Hills' 11 on their first drive of the fourth quarter, but Nicolet missed on a 28-yard field goal try. Wagner had nine straight carries to the Patriots' 16 before Nicolet missed from 34 yards BOYS CRAWFORD 18 23 17 20 78 At SOUTH CENTRAL 17 24 11 16 67 Crawlord County (1-0) Hanger 13, Bowman 14, Key IB, Schult2 18.

Silver Creek took a 46-42 advantage into the final quarter, but short jumper by Charlestown forward Eric Brewer cut it to 46-44 in the opening minute. On the ensuing possession, Brent Brewer hit the first of his fourth-quarter free-throw attempts to make it 47-44. Guard Isaac Hall sank two free throws to pull Charlestown within 47-46 with 7:06 left. But the Pirates would get no closer as they scored only five points the rest of the way. Meanwhile, the Dragons dominat- ed the boards defensively and seldom allowed Charlestown a second shot.

Brent Brewer was fouled on three straight possessions and hit 5 of 6 free throws to push the lead to 52-46 with 4:34 remaining. Following a Charlestown turnover, Frank Inman's layup gave the Dragons a 54-48 lead. Matt McCoy, Jesse Whitlock and Inman each hit foul shots in the final three minutes to help Silver Creek maintain control. In all, the Dragons hit 17 of 32 free throws. "We made the shots we had to, but I'm glad we didn't have to depend on our free-throw shooting to win," Led-better said.

The Red Devils opened a narrow lead midway through the final period and went to a spread offense. Jeff hit 16 of 21 free throws in the fourth quarter and 22 of 33 overall. Jeff first-year coach Mark Lamber-tus said he could tell his team was nervous in the first half. "We missed a lot of close shots," he said. "That was a product of nerves.

"We have five kids playing new positions. I'm not sure any of those kids finished a game last year. In the second half, we settled down." Lambertus said Coutee, who is out with a hairline fracture to his shooting hand, should return Dec. 8 against Seymour. Matt Pait, a 6-foot-4 forward, picked up the scoring slack, getting 22 points and hitting four three-pointers.

"He kept us in the game until the other guys were able to relax," Lambertus said: Andre Jones added 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Red Devils. "He played really well in the final 16 minutes," Lambertus said.

With Brownstown leading 73-69, Josh Conrad and Wes Herndon each hit a pair of free throws to tie it. Then Herndon hit a 5-footer with eight seconds left to give the Panthers the lead.

With three seconds left, the Braves called time to set up a final shot. The ball was inbounded to Clint Waskom, who led Brownstown with 24 points. But he was pressured by Clint Crosier and travelled. Kevin Lahue paced Corvdon with 21 points. Nathan Rainbolt, who fouled out with three minutes left, added 17.
